Legal Definitions - judicatum solvi

Judicatum solvi is a Latin term that means "that the judgment will be paid." In Roman law, it refers to the payment of the sum awarded by way of judgment or security for the payment of the sum awarded by way of judgment. This term applies when a representative appeared on the defendant's behalf at the trial. In civil law, it refers to a court-ordered caution given by the defendant in a maritime case.

For example, if a person is sued and a judgment is made against them, they must pay the amount awarded by the court. This payment is called judicatum solvi. In another example, if a defendant in a maritime case is ordered to give a caution, they must fulfill whatever may be decerned for, and they are not liberated from the obligation by the death of the principal debtor.

These examples illustrate how judicatum solvi is used in different legal contexts to refer to the payment of a sum awarded by way of judgment or security for the payment of the sum awarded by way of judgment.
